Sequins Fashion – Spring 2007 Runway
Marriage, party, style, models, ramps, fashion shows. You see thousands of people in all these places, you remember some; some even miss out to catch a glimpse, and the rest you forget. But the ones you remember are special, unique in their own way. One of them would be definitely wearing sequins. Yes, sequins the very fashion of today. Sequins can make you dazzlingly different from others who now don’t stand a chance. Today’s fashion speaks language of shine and shimmer. How many have times have you come across the blinding glitter that leaves you dazed? The answer may well cross hundred by count. Sequencing originated from the Middle East where real coins were used to shimmer to clothes. It made the fabric shine and stand out. Today other metal pieces have replaced the coins, but the purpose still remains the same.
Every designer showroom or boutique you come across has a rich fabric endowed with sequins displayed on the mannequins. It attracts attention immediately and puts life into which ever fabric it is used on. Sequins are a safe escape if you are preparing for a big ceremony or wedding as it far from any fashion disaster. A simple kurti or tube top suddenly looks like a designer wear if there is even a single strand of sequins on it. Golden and silver are the colours sequins are primarily used in. But metal is not far behind. So, whatever you are wearing for a party, even a hint of sequins in your tops or bottoms will make you a sure head turner. With sequins you never have to try hard.
